Really Harold, what are friends for?:whistle: Don't miss this shoot.

Yeah, I will turn the big 6 0 that weekend--I'm sure you guys will help me celebrate.

Any info on a PGCA tent and if tables will be available if there is one?

Rich Anderson

01-03-2014, 07:29 PM

I'd say it's to soon for that Brian. We usually combine forces with the LC Smith group and have a common area.

Brian Dudley

Anyone know who is heading up the Parker/LC Smith tent? How do I get a table?

I am a new PGCA member and live in eastern North Carolina. I just got into Parkers, and was thinking of going to the Southern SxS for one of the days. Its a 2 1/2 hour drive for me. I would like to check out the events as well as the vendors.

I have never shot at any Vintager events. Although I haven't done it recently, I did shoot CAS for awhile a few years ago. Is it a matter of getting the proper clothes along with following the other requirements on the Vintager website? I always hate being the "newbie" at such things, but if nothing else I would at least like to spend the day learning for next time.

Thanks,

Jay

Jay,
There are no requirements for dressing in Vintage attire. In fact very few do. Just dress appropriately for the weather and come and have a good time.

Dean Romig

02-14-2014, 03:54 PM

Jay, you've absolutely GOT to go to the Southern. It is truly SXS "overload" in every respect, even for those of us who go every year. Don't miss it!!

Rich Anderson

02-14-2014, 03:56 PM

Jay welcome to the PGCA. Just come as you are and have fun. The PGCA will have a tent down by the 5 stand course, we share it with the LC Smith group so there will be lots of people to talk to and learn about two great guns.

Jay Oliver

02-14-2014, 04:46 PM

Great! I'm in:)

Eric Eis

02-14-2014, 04:54 PM

Great! I'm in:)

Also Jay we will be shooting Thurs, Friday, and Saturday morning at Drakes Landing. A bunch of fun no score cards one of the nicest Clays courses that I have shot, so join us there for a morning or afternoon shoot and go the Deep River and enjoy all the vendors and the Parker/LC Smith shoot. It's a great time....

Jay Oliver

02-14-2014, 05:02 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I haven't shot at either of those courses. Around here I have shot clays at Rose Hill and Hunter's Point in Washington, NC(which is just 30 minutes from me).

I am looking forward to driving a little west in April.

Thanks,

Jay

Rich Anderson

02-14-2014, 05:05 PM

Jay please join us for a round or two at Drakes Landing. Send me a PM and I'll provide you with the details. You will love the course.

They tried to get us to join the Vintagers and my wife put it best "I want to be able to wear my jeans for this"

mills you know they had Levies in the late 1800s.

Bill Murphy

02-16-2014, 08:28 PM

Jay, what town do you live in? I spend a little time on Route 17 going past Hunter's Pointe.

Jay Oliver

02-16-2014, 09:36 PM

Hi Bill, I sent you a PM

Randell Beck

02-18-2014, 10:01 PM

You dont have to get wrapped all around the axle on vintager attire - even at the vintage cup plenty of people shoot in jeans, or shorts and a shirt. Its not all vintage. To be in the spirit I shot this past year in a vest over a normal shirt and khakis, with hiking boots. it was vintage enough. No one even looked twice. Its not a problem.

Brian Dudley

02-28-2014, 08:11 AM

Is there any particular host hotel for the Southern with rooms reserved? Or does the PGCA have any?

Dean Romig

02-28-2014, 08:20 AM

Brian, the PGCA had blocked a bunch of rooms but I'll bet they're all gone by now.

Try them anyway... The Hampton, 1904 So. Horner Blvd., Sanford, NC, Tel: 919-775-2000

Good Luck, Dean

Brian,
alot of us are staying at the Quality Inn in Fuquay-Varina.
PH # 919 557 2009. Mention Parker Gun Club and rate is $69

Brian Dudley

02-28-2014, 08:52 AM

Thank you.

Bill Murphy

02-28-2014, 08:59 AM

The Hampton was fully booked, including our rooms, when I called a few days ago.

You fine gentlemen are welcome to join us at the above listed hotel. It is about half way to the location of the big shindig at Ruth Chris... Better bring a tie and sport coat

Brian Dudley

Mills Morrison

02-28-2014, 09:10 AM

See you at the Quality Inn. Make sure it is the one in Fuquay Varina.

Eric Eis

02-28-2014, 09:31 AM

I called the Hampton and they said rooms were still available. But I liked the rate at the Quality inn better. I have a reservation there.

Needed to save some money to pay for a foundation dinner ticket :-)

Brian,
Also save a couple of dollars and shoot a round at Drakes with us, you will love the course:) We are going to shoot on Thursday ( Friday and Saturday too) and that is before the Deep River is open so come on and shoot a round with us, you will have fun...

Brian Dudley

02-28-2014, 09:32 AM

Yup... Judd Parkway.

FRANK HALSEY

03-10-2014, 12:55 PM

Is there going to be anyone at the southern s x s that can fix a SBT from opening up when shot? I love shooting my Parker SC but it is now its opening when I shoot it and I don't what to hurt it. Thanks, Frank

Rich Anderson

03-10-2014, 03:25 PM

I believe Brian Dudley will be there but I would contact him prior to the Southern and discuss the proble this way perhaps he can bring the correct tools to make the repair.

Eric Eis

03-12-2014, 05:48 PM

Just got an email from Drakes Landing, hours are 9-6 Thur and Friday, and
8am opening on Saturday and the new course will open this weekend so we will have 2 SC courses to shoot along with the 5 stand. Looking forward to it.

Mark Ouellette

03-12-2014, 06:23 PM

New course at Drakes? It would be hard to improve on their first course!

Mark Ouellette

03-12-2014, 06:26 PM

A few more memories...

Rich Anderson

03-12-2014, 06:48 PM

We can shoot Thurs and Friday am with a lunch Thursday and be drooling over guns Friday pm. There is a certain hammergun I've been lusting over:whistle:

Mills Morrison

03-12-2014, 06:55 PM

I thought Rich was not buying any more guns.

:whistle:

John Dallas

03-12-2014, 08:40 PM

he's obviously not buying any less either....

Harold Lee Pickens

03-12-2014, 10:23 PM

Wow, can't wait, especially since the Eastern was cancelled-what a shame, such a nice venue. I'll be bringing a few that I didn't have last year and hope I can get out of there without buying anything. Might even have to consider selling a very nice Fox Sterlingworth
20 ga(Utica)--I have 2.

Mike.Smith

03-12-2014, 10:27 PM

If you really want to be jealous, I'm planning to be at Drake's this weekend for the opening of that second course. I'll let you know how it compares to the original. From what I've seen, it's going to be pretty spectacular!

Mike

Eric Eis

03-13-2014, 08:23 AM

Mike take some pictures to get us fired up.....

David Dwyer

03-13-2014, 09:47 AM

I am already fired up!!! If I did not have to be at a family gathering this weekend I would be there!!
David

Rich Anderson

03-13-2014, 04:16 PM

I thought Rich was not buying any more guns.

:whistle:

It's very,very hard to be good and is usually something I fail miserbly at. I am going to sell a couple (or try to) befor the Southern. Watch the for sale section

Mills Morrison

03-13-2014, 08:19 PM

That was my story last year. I was saving up, but good deals kept coming up. I don't have any regrets.

Rich Anderson

03-14-2014, 08:18 AM

Everything always comes due at the same time. My newly expanded Man Cave will be finished in a couple of weeks, a custom rifle will be finished next week, taxes and pension plan payments due in a month and at the end of it all is the Southern with more nice guns than any addict can stand:rotf:

Dean Romig

03-14-2014, 08:23 AM

Sell some more blood.... ;)

Mills Morrison

03-14-2014, 08:24 AM

That is the way it usually happens. What is worse, Julia has figured out how to go online and move funds from my slush fund over to the household acct. Not good.

Dean Romig

03-14-2014, 08:28 AM

Change your password quickly!!!!!

Rich Anderson

03-14-2014, 08:34 AM

I could sell blood to make payments IF I decide to buy the hammergun. My slush fund is in a out of town bank. Consider getting a PO Box to have the statements sent to or have them sent to your office if its outside the home.

Mills Morrison

03-14-2014, 08:37 AM

My slush fund might move to a can buried in an undisclosed location.

Mills Morrison

03-14-2014, 08:38 AM

She took $500 last night and all I got was permission to order a research letter on my new gun.

Rich Anderson

03-14-2014, 08:39 AM

I'll take care of it for you:whistle:

Rich Anderson

03-14-2014, 08:41 AM

She took $500 last night and all I got was permission to order a research letter on my new gun.

Sounds like a training issue to me. What's permission??

Dean Romig

03-14-2014, 08:58 AM

When was the last time you bought her a nice bauble? Apparantly not recently enough.

Eric Eis

03-14-2014, 09:15 AM

That is the way it usually happens. What is worse, Julia has figured out how to go online and move funds from my slush fund over to the household acct. Not good.

That's why part of my slush fund stays in Cash :rolleyes:

Mills Morrison

03-14-2014, 09:16 AM

She's not in to baubles

Mills Morrison

03-14-2014, 09:18 AM

Rich Anderson

03-14-2014, 09:43 AM

Mills I just posted a nice trinket for Julia:whistle:

Dean Romig

03-14-2014, 09:44 AM

Yup, right....

Got my reservations all set at the Parker Gun Collectors Association hotel, thanks.

Eric Eis

03-14-2014, 11:03 AM

Yup, right....

Got my reservations all set at the Parker Gun Collectors Association hotel, thanks.

I'm sorry Dean I didn't know PGCA members had to stay at a certain hotel :shock:

Mark Ouellette

03-14-2014, 11:27 AM

Yup, right....

Got my reservations all set at the Parker Gun Collectors Association hotel, thanks.

I did not know that the PGCA owns a hotel! Do life members stay for free? :rotf:

Dean Romig

03-14-2014, 12:10 PM

We don't have to... but rooms were blocked off for PGCA members back in January and I jumped on board. I've procrastinated too many times in the past.

Wow!.... just noticed that I answered the question you presented before you went back in and edited it.... :whistle:

Eric Eis

So, Julia can move Mills' funds from account to account. Would that be James Julia or wife Julia??

Mills Morrison

03-16-2014, 12:52 PM

Not James Julia

Mills Morrison

Great to see old friends and put a real face with an online face for several friends. Too much to do in too little time though. Hoped to get longer visits with a lot of you, but hopefully next time.

Here are some Parkers seen at the event.
